MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of a Document_Open macro, GetObject calls, and references to Windows Script Host strongly indicate malicious intent. The macro is designed to execute code that downloads a secondary payload from one of the listed URLs. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.ChristmasGift-9845923-0' further supports this assessment. The obfuscated document body does not provide specific user-facing content but the technical indicators are clear.

Heuristics 9

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.ChristmasGift-9845923-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.ChristmasGift-9845923-0
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
